Aiden Derkack, a top-100 2026 recruit, will visit Dayton Flyers

Aiden Derkack, the brother of Dayton Flyers guard Jordan Derkack, will take an official visit to Dayton this weekend, according to a report Monday by Dushawn London, of 247Sports.com.

Aiden, a 6-foot-5 guard in the class of 2026, received a scholarship offer from Dayton in May. The offer came a month after his brother committed to Dayton after playing at Rutgers last season.

Derkack is ranked 53rd by 247Sports, 45th by ESPN, and 64th by Rivals in the 2026 class. Virginia Commonwealth, Southern California, South Florida, Butler, Indiana, Oklahoma State and Notre Dame are among the schools that have offered Derkack a scholarship this summer.

Derkack attended Colonia High School in Colonia, N.J., the last three years but announced in July he will attend SPIRE Academy in Geneva, Ohio, for his senior year. He’ll be one of three top-100 recruits playing at SPIRE this year.

Derkack set Colonia’s scoring record with 1,739 points in three seasons. He averaged 24.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals as a junior.

The Flyers have not received a commitment from a 2026 recruit. They were visited by another top-100 recruit, Joseph Hartman, a 6-5 guard at The Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., in late August.

Collin Ross, a 6-foot-10 forward, planned a visit to Dayton for Sept. 3-5 but committed to VCU on Sept. 1.

Dayton will have at least four scholarships open with Javon Bennett, Jacob Conner, Jordan Derkack and Keonte Jones all entering their final year of eligibility in the 2025-26 season.
